The National News Desk recently published an article featuring Jay Zagorsky, Clinical Associate Professor of Markets, Public Policy, examining the decline in U.S. cryptocurrency ownership and what it may signal about investor sentiment.
A new Gallup survey found that crypto ownership fell from 14% to 9% among U.S. adults over the past year, while ownership among investors declined from 17% to 11%.
Zagorsky provided commentary on the decline, noting that falling crypto prices may have caused some investors to reconsider the asset class. He said a price drop over the past year has sent “tenuous investors … looking someplace else to make their fortune.”
The article also examines changing perceptions of cryptocurrency, including the asset class’s reputation for risk and the competition it faces from other speculative investments.
